We need to be able to toggle our pets, so that they either attack anything in range/line of site, or, only attack when we attack, or, attack what we tell them to with a target system like we have on PC.

That won't help this.
This is a bug where the pet will likely get put into aggro mode since attacking an enemy now automatically commands all pets you have to attack that target regardless of the status the pet is in. You set your pet to passive to ignore combat? Sorry, it needs to attack the enemy you are attacking.

That was a change they made with Morrowind, if I remember correctly.


This would also explain why I had this happen to me in the Vulkhel Guard bank a year ago where my clannfear killed the tax collector lady who walks around the banker room. I was in the bank menu and started seeing aggro indicators for the clannfear attacking and she was dead before I could stop it, though I had no choice if I wanted out of there but to let the thing kill her and hope no other npc aggroed due to the limitation on not activating doors while being attacked(except outlaw refuge doors).



P.S.
It's dumb that we can't activate doors until we have not been attacked or attacked anything else for at least 5 seconds(apparent duration) because we can certainly normally go through a door faster, even in real life, and the only thing that should stop us from entering doors is crowd control, like stuns and immobilizes.

I bet they can code it to check if we are CCed or not and let us open doors to escape when not CCed.

Random person every time. With the fishing in Anvil, the other player came along and tried to pickpocket the NPC and failed. The NPC swung at them with their fists and the other player decided to kill them, so of course their pet attacked. But so did mine. I wasn't that close to them either, there was no splash damage. My pet just hauled over to attack as soon as the other players pet did.

Also, I was on my Pack Leader at a shrine talking to another Pack Leader. He directed his wolves to go attack a giant. When his ran to attack so did mine. I did not direct them to do that. We tested it several times and if either of our pets attacked something so did the others pets.

Same with Warden. One example; I was waiting for a dolmen when another Warden decided to kill a nearby scorpion. The second her bear ran to attack mine suddenly did also. I did not even target that scorpion and it hadn't engaged her pet yet.

This happens all the time. Seems it shouldn't. Not once was I grouped.

Interesting. There appears to be an issue with one pet's agro automatically turning all other pets' agro on then. I wonder how that came to be, does game consider all pets a group of their own with subsequent group agro logic or something?

But yes, that definitely shouldn't be happening.

Probably.
It's likely like enemy factions and pets are a "pet faction" and aggro may be controlled by "set petfaction to 0/1" where 0 is passive and 1 is aggressive. That's essentially how they get enemies to go passive during certain stages of quests or after, and we know that is buggy because they messed up the public dungeon Root Sunder where the animals inside used to always be passive after the quest but now go back aggressive as soon as you leave or relog.
